EDITOR REVIEW. I want to make
an inquiry if it would not have been a
blessing if we would have had a good
democratic governor eight years ago,
to have put that $l26,000 at interest
and not let it be in idleness, like the
unjust steward we read of in the new
Testament, but use it in schooling tue
children and not have that amount of
moneyin the state treasury unbeknoWn
to the republican officers. Republican
voters watch how the republican gov
ernor did in regard to that money, he
was the very one that ought to have
found that sum of money was in idle
ness and had it put at interest, that
amount of money is no small item, the
interest would have been nearly doub-
led at least 100000 There is another
thing I want the voters to notice is
the swamp land business, since Govern
or Pennoyer is in office new leaf has
been turned; their raseality is brought
TO light and we have the right Govern
or now. Although some Of the smart
men all around sling their smart joke
at him the Governor is the right mar
in the right place, he holds the corpor
alton level and the rings can't do q
thing with him; let the Legislators pas
the right kind of laws and they vii
. get the signature of the Governor or
am mistaken l am getting too length.

So, 1873. Minnesota has for several
years past overdrawn her quota, and,
although it had received on July /. &c.
451.61, it was found, afeer striking a
balance, that little over $1,000 re-
NAMED to her credit. Under the new
regulations, promulgated by the presi-
dent April %, it is forbidden to allow
any state or territory to overdraw the
quota, so Gen. Seeley will have to be
content with one gun It's value with
carriage and caisson is 81, 1880, and
this nearly wipes out Minnesota's cred

If there is aught Of truth in the Ans
erican idea and system, if it is true that
all men are and on CHIT to be equal before
the law. and that the government OF the
people is bound to treat all with equal
favor, then any tax, which is designed
to make the whole people, or any part
Of the people, pay tribute to a favorite
group. whether that group consists Of
capitalists or laborers, or both, is an
unjust, unholy and abhorrent thing,
vioIative of the natural rights OF men,
subversive Of equality, and in peryers-
ion Of the rightful power and functions
Of the government.
Since the republicans OF Ohio have
proclaimed for. John Sherman, Mr..
Blaine has decided not to return to this
country as soon as he expected, but
will make q trip through Continental
Europe and will winter on the Medi-
terranean.
The centennial celebration of the pro-
null cation of the constitution Of the
United States at Philadelphia next Sep
TENDER will be a good one. The dates
fixed for the celebration are the 18th,
10th and 18th, the latter being the time
that historic instrument was finally
agreed to. The New Jersey Legisla-
ture took the first step toward this cele-
bration by inviting the governors to as
semble at Philadelphia, where arrange
ments were made for the appointment
of q centennial commission. This COM
mission selected Col. A. Loudon Snow
den as mashal, and the States are Of
fering cordial cooperation to the pat
riotic scheme. A majority of the gov
errors will visit Philadelphia in Sep
TENDER, and the presence Of President
Cleveland on the 10th and 18th is as
sured. The first day is to be devoted
to an industrial display, the contrasts
between the two eras forming the dis
tinctive features. The Governor OF
Pennsylvania will hold a reception in
the evening. A military display will
take place on the second day, closing
with a reception in honor of the Presi.
dent. The literary exercises on the
last day will be conducted by Mr..
Cleveland, the Grafton being delivered
by Justice Miller of the United States
supreme court.

Written Limitations aUill haze the
same effect.
The President has written the follow
ing letter in reply to an invitation to
visit St. Paul and, Minneapolis. The
letter was addressed to Gov. McGill of
Minnesota, Mayor Smith Of St. Paul,
and Mayor Ames of Minneapolis, and
reads as follows: Il thank you for the
cordially and heartiness manifested in
your dispatch and promise to consider
your invitation with an earnest desire
to accept the same, but may suggest
that no delegation be sent here during
this trying weather to emphasize your
wishes? [ will determine the question
speedily, and I hope to your satisfac-
tion.'
Gov. McGill's invitation to the Presi-
dent to visit Minnesota during his
Western trip reached the White House
Friday. There was also an invita-
ton from St. Paul and Minneapolis to
visit both cities. It was also stated that
delegation would follow the message
in a few days to present the invitation
in a more formal manner. Col. Lam
ont, who voices the Presidents senti-
ments, said that the latter would much
prefer that no delegation come, as such
visits consumed his time and delayed
the performance of his duties, which
must be completed before the western
trip is taken. Col. Lamont says it is
not unlikely that the President will ex-
tend his tour to St. Paul and Mime
apolis, but written invitation will be
ample to assure him that he will be
welcome there. The hint sent out by
the Associated Press at the request OF
the White House that committees OF
different cities can accomplish their
purpose just as well by sending their
invitations in writing as by putting
themselves to the great difficulty Of
visiting Washington in this weather,
simply means that theP President does not
wish to have to go to the White House
daily to stand up and be interviewed by
scores Of people, and to say the same
thing in each case when the subject can
quite as well be disposed Of in due
course Of the mails. The President will
undoubtedly accept all invitations to
leading cities within the circuit Of his
projected trip, and if there shall not be
some moderation Of the present tropi-
cal term here he may seek refuge in the
mountains at an early day. He is now
spending most Of his time at his coun'
try seat.
